The Official #11 Tennessee @ #6 Alabama Game Thread, 7:30 PM ET, ABC

[bpalmer28]

Banks calls up a defense that sniffs out the double pass and it’s his fault that two Vols can’t make the tackle for a 10+ yard loss?

HE IS THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATING. ITS HIS COACHES AND ITS HIS PLAYERS.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Lmao #4 just lowers his head like a damn idiot.

No effort at all!!!

 

[SicEmSmokey33]

Screen, screen, screen

 

[jim285pro]

Do we teach just hit em with the shoulder?

 

[BJWeeks]

And oline didnt block anyone on the run play.

 

[allvols4life]

Mcelroy is such a cuck... he worships the bama c0@k. He makes me sick.... as does our defense

 

[njvols]

Letting Mcilroy do this game is broadcast malpractice

 

[tnvols72]

pathetic play calling ,Heup sucks away from Knoxville

 

[djwes]

What a ****ing shock, our offensive coordinator calls that ****ing pass to the sideline that doesn’t damn work

 

[PsychoMantis]

I feel bad for the fans that made the trip. Yikes.

 

[hardyemt_p]

3 scores down, what to do

 

[VOLifornia]

I look at this score and go… we can score 17 to make it even… then I fall to earth and go… well we can’t stop an offense if our life depending on it.

 

[Switch 625]

Great. More passes to the sideline that go nowhere.

 

[Voltopia]

What I would give for us to comeback and win this game....

Ok, I'll bite. What would you give? You're asking for a lot, so be specific.

Me personally, I could give money, but I wouldn't really want to surrender anything too important.

 

[Lekvolrrah]

The road deal and Heupel is real. He truly sucks on the road..

Then he cant stay

 

[Orange defense]

Running, running, running. What’s up?

 

[Go47]

Dude stop. You didn't have to have a coach tell you to tackle players.
You think Coach is taking them to not tackle.
Just dumb

Uhhhhh . . . They totally get paid to teach and coach tackling.

 

[87&91ALUM]

We seem to have lost our will. Hands on hips.

 

[EastTNVol6240]

Count me as one of them. Took over a dumpster fire of a program a made them relevant in 2 years. How does a not "good" coach make the playoffs in the SEC with a mediocre QB?

Good. Not great. Not elite. Depends on if you’re okay with settling I suppose.

 

[CAVPUT]

dude...I'm sorry but whoever teaches these kids to shoulder tackle needs to be exposed. This is some crazy weak defense

Do they tackle in practice or.jist thud to avoid boo boos/injuries? Might have something to do with our soft approach to tackling.

 

[EastTN]

Just lay there boys it will be over soon

 

[Cannot believe]

Pull number 4 out. He is not even trying. No fight in this defense. Weak.

 

[NOLAPhil]

The secondary, aside from hood, has just freakin given up.

 

[Boca Vol]

99 yard drive!

 

[Boston Vol]

Bama has touchdown drives of 91 and 99 yards. That’s inexcusable at this level. If Heupel doesn’t get this sh*t cleaned up, he’ll never win anything of consequence here. This offseason will show if he has the guts to do what’s necessary.
